Wicked, the spellbinding and spectacular hit musical, is the
untold story of the legendary witches from L. Frank Baum''s classic, The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch, we only ever heard one
side of the story. Gregory Maguire''s 1995 novel, Wicked: The Life & Times of the
Wicked Witch of the West, created "one of the great heroines of fantasy
literature" - Los Angeles Times, explaining how a misunderstood, green girl
named Elphaba became "wicked" but her unlikely friend, Glinda, became "good".
The exceptional team that has brought this captivating story to life on stage
includes many of Broadway''s most celebrated creative talents: the Oscar and
Grammy Award-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz (Godspell,
Pocahontas, The Prince of Egypt), writer Winnie Holzman (My So-Called Life, The
Wonder Years, thirtysomething), scenic designer Eugene Lee (Tony Award-winner
for Candide, the original Sweeney Todd and Wicked), costume designer Susan
Hilferty (Into The Woods, Tony Award-winner for Wicked), lighting designer
Kenneth Posner (The Odd Couple, Hairspray), choreographer Wayne Cilento
(Disney''s Aida and a Tony Award-winner and Olivier Award nominee for The Who''s
Tommy) and director Joe Mantello (Tony Award-winner for Take Me Out, which
premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, and Assassins.) Joe Mantello has also
recently directed Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in The Odd Couple and is
directing Julia Roberts'' Broadway debut in Three Days of Rain.
Winner of 15 major awards, this "spectacular spectacle" - New York Post
transports audiences to a fantasy land of wizardry and witchcraft with Grammy
Award-winning music, Tony Award-winning sets and costumes, and stunning special
effects.
The Washington Post calls Wicked "a breathtaking success story of a magnitude
the theatre has not witnessed since the peak years of The Phantom of the Opera".
Now you can experience this magical new musical adventure in London and discover
that you''ve not been told the whole story about the Land of Oz...
